Narrative

I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES WORKED ON MY 2000 TAURUS ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY 2 MECHANICS THAT THE CAR MODEL IS SEVERELY UNDER BRAKED. THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP. I HAVE HAD ONE ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR WERE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IF THE BRAKES OPERATED PROPERLY. *LA
